"Ding!" The bell rang, and the duel began.
Tu Liyang looked at Søren and said word by word, "I only need one strike to kill you. If I use a second strike, it will be considered my loss."
These words were filled with a powerful aura, and no one would doubt his words at all.
Then, Tu Liyang did not attack immediately. Instead, he stabbed his sword into the ground and knelt on one knee. He lowered his head and closed his eyes, reciting a eulogy.
At this moment, his ugly face was no longer filled with humor, but became solemn.
His short body also emitted a sharp and powerful aura.
This reminded people that he was a powerful swordsman. In the next three to five years, he would definitely advance to become a top swordsman among the Dragon Swordsmen.
The eulogy he was reciting now was for Søren.
This eulogy was usually recited after the duel, after the opponent was killed.
However, Tu Liyang was a thousand percent sure that he could kill Søren, so he recited the eulogy before the duel.
Also, he did not care that Søren would ambush him. Of course, with Søren's swordsmanship cultivation, even if he ambushed him in advance, it would be useless. He would just be courting death.
Tu Liyang's cultivation was a sixth-grade advanced swordsman, on par with Tu Lingduo.
And Søren's pure swordsmanship cultivation was a three-star intermediate swordsman. Therefore, Tu Liyang said that his martial arts were ten times better than Søren's. Although it was an exaggeration, it was not completely false.
In a real contest of swordsmanship, even if Søren used his Dragon Power continuously, he would definitely lose. Even if a few Søren worked together, they would not be Tu Liyang's match.
After Tu Liyang's eulogy ended, he would kill with one strike!
Søren would definitely die!
Therefore, everyone present held their breath and widened their eyes. They could feel the powerful murderous aura in the hall and the approaching footsteps of the god of death.
Gui Qinshao's beautiful eyes stared at Søren. She wanted him to die immediately. No matter what kind of strange feelings she had for him in the past, she wanted Søren to die immediately now.
Because Søren had humiliated her, humiliated her in public.
Tu Lingduo, on the other hand, had mixed feelings. On one hand, she wanted Søren to die, but on the other hand, she wanted to get rid of this horrible marriage.
As for the noble ladies present, although they avoided Søren like the plague, it was because of their political stance that they had to draw a clear line between them and Søren. In their hearts, they naturally hoped that Søren would win.
Even though Søren, that bastard, had toyed with many people's feelings, forcing many of them to spend a lot of money to get a layer of purity from the Warlock.
But the time they spent with this bastard was really blissful. That kind of physical and mental happiness would become a lifelong memory for them. Many of the socialites were already married, but every time they were in bed with their husbands, they would close their eyes and imagine their husbands to be Søren.
Even though they all hoped that Søren would win, they knew that Søren would not win.
They knew very well how good Tu Liyang's swordsmanship was. Last year's Royal City College graduation exam, Tu Liyang's swordsmanship had shocked everyone.
"Søren is dead for sure." This was the thought of all the guests present.
Even though most of the noble ladies did not want Søren to die, he was dead for sure in this duel!
…
High up in the attic.
"Ling Ao, do you think that Søren will die?" Zhi Li asked.
"According to his cultivation, he will definitely die," Ling Ao said. "But this person is extremely cunning, so the outcome is hard to predict."
Zhi Li nodded and did not speak.
At this moment, there was another person hidden in the banquet hall.
That was Zhi Li's personal eunuch, Li Chenglian. Even though they were tens of meters apart, it was still easy for her to kill Søren.
Even if Tu Liyang could not kill Søren, Li Chenglian would definitely be able to kill Søren.
Li Chenglian's martial arts were second only to Gao Yin. She was the second most powerful person in the Fury Waves Imperial Court.
Normally, Li Chenglian would not be able to make a move against Soran. However, tonight, Soran was looking for death and agreed to Tu Liyang's duel, so it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
…
"Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. May you rest forever, and the Dragon Power will still accompany you in your next life." Tu Liyang finished the last line of his eulogy.
Then, he opened his eyes and stood up.
"Søren, you're dead," Tu Liyang said.
Instantly, everyone widened their eyes, afraid to miss a moment.
Because what was coming was a one-hit kill. There would not be a second strike. A one-hit kill.
Then, everyone could clearly feel the powerful Dragon Power condensing, condensing, and condensing.
Tu Liyang's short body emitted a murderous aura, and his Dragon Power grew stronger.
In the end, Tu Liyang's entire body seemed to transform into a sword, merging with the platinum sword in his hand.
This was becoming one with the sword, a state that only Dragon Swordsmen could reach.
Tu Liyang had already reached this state when he was a Rank-6 Advanced Swordsman.
Tu Liyang's beautiful eyes widened, revealing a breathtaking aura. This was the first time she looked at Tu Liyang directly.
She did not expect such talent and willpower under such a short and ugly body.
"This person is not ordinary," Zhi Li said lightly.
Condensed to the extreme!
A one-hit kill!
A one-hit kill!
Whoosh …
Tu Liyang became one with the sword. Like a meteor or lightning, he stabbed at Søren.
Extremely fast. Among all the martial arts in the world, only speed was unbeatable.
It was so fast that even if Søren used the Time Deceleration Spell, he could not block it or dodge it.
Tu Liyang was right. He only needed one strike to kill Søren. He definitely did not need a second strike.
This was an absolute one-hit kill. Even if Søren was twice as strong, he would not be able to dodge Tu Liyang's strike.
He was definitely going to die!
Therefore, the heartbroken aristocratic ladies did not want to watch anymore. They did not want to see Søren die on the spot.
But now it was too late to even close their eyes. The Grim Reaper suddenly arrived.
…
Søren, on the other hand, stood motionless from the beginning to the end.
The sword was still in its scabbard, not even unsheathed.
He was condensing his Mentality. Eros was also condensing his Mentality.
Incomparably strong Mentality, an intermediate six-star Mentality Master, coupled with an instant Mentality Critical Hit, the instant Mentality could reach a high-level Mentality Attack.
After Tu Liyang finished reciting the eulogy, his eyes were staring straight at Søren.
Their eyes met!
Then, Tu Liyang suddenly attacked, becoming one with the sword and stabbing at lightning speed.
At the same time, the powerful Mentality that Søren condensed shot out through Tu Liyang's eyes!
Mentality Critical Hit!
"Boom …"
Tu Liyang's mind, which had been fully concentrated, suddenly exploded.
There was a flash of white in front of him.
The Mentality in his mind suddenly exploded, and he lost all control.
His sword was still half a foot away from Søren, and his whole mind instantly went blank.
At the same time, Søren drew his sword and suddenly flicked it!
"Puff …" Tu Liyang's short body flew more than ten meters away and fell hard on the ground. He spat out a mouthful of blood and kept twitching. It was uncertain whether he was dead or alive.
Almost at the same time, there was a sudden slight explosion in the air, and then, like a breeze, it gradually rippled.
The whole place was dead silent!
They looked at all this in complete disbelief.
Wasn't Søren bound to die? Wasn't Tu Liyang killed with one strike?
It seemed that Søren had no power to fight back at all?
Why was it Tu Liyang who was killed in an instant? Weren't his martial arts and swordsmanship ten times better than Søren's?
"This, this is impossible …" Gui Qinshao said with a trembling voice.
"Bang …"
At this time, Ling Ao, who was behind the crystal window in the loft, almost clenched his teeth and looked at all this with great shock and disappointment.
Søren actually didn't die? He … he actually won against Tu Liyang. How was this possible?
And Zhi Li's eyes suddenly narrowed, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.
Why didn't Li Chenglian make a move?
The opportunity to kill Søren this time was completely rare. Why didn't Li Chenglian make a move?
In fact, Li Chenglian had already made a move!
The moment Tu Liyang made a move, he also made a move. He flicked a finger at Søren.
This finger's Dragon Force sword was silent, but it was enough to kill more than ten Søren. It would directly explode Søren's head.
At that time, everyone would think that Tu Liyang killed Søren and not him, Li Chenglian!
But …
The moment he made a move, another person also made a move.
There was another person hidden in the crowd, standing opposite Li Chenglian.
When Li Chenglian flicked the Dragon Force sword, she also lightly flicked a finger.
Two extremely powerful Sword Qi collided in the air and completely canceled each other out. There was only a light explosion, like a light breeze, and it didn't attract anyone's attention.
Li Chenglian immediately found that pair of eyes in the crowd. It was otherworldly and beautiful like the stars.
He bowed slightly, and the other person nodded!
Who was she?
Princess Jung Yeon!
Only Princess Jung Yeon could make Li Chenglian bow, because her status was equal to Zhi Li's.
Søren didn't attend the banquet alone. Princess Jung Yeon wore a veil and changed her appearance to hide in the crowd.
It could be said that if it wasn't for Princess Jung Yeon, Søren wouldn't have agreed to the duel. If Zhi Li was there, Li Chenglian would definitely be there. If Søren agreed to the duel, regardless of the outcome, he would be killed by Zhi Li.
After secretly getting a confirmation from Princess Jung Yeon, Søren agreed to the duel.
But after the real duel!
No words could describe the shock in Søren and Li Chenglian's hearts!
Søren knew that Jung Yeon's martial arts were very high, but he didn't know exactly how high. It should be similar to Nair's. After all, she was only 25 years old.
And he knew very well how high Li Chenglian's martial arts were.
He was Li Zhu's adoptive father, and Li Zhu's martial arts were almost on par with Nair's.
Even if Li Chenglian's martial arts weren't as good as Gao Yin's, there wasn't much difference. At the top of the pyramid in the Raging Wave Kingdom, there were no more than three or four people who could fight her.
And just now, Princess Jung Yeon actually said very calmly that even if Li Chenglian made a move, she could still protect Søren.
And then, she did it. Søren was so shocked that he almost peed his pants.
She was actually … so powerful!
No wonder every time Meng Tuoluo mentioned Jung Yeon, she would directly omit it.
It was no wonder that Grand Scholar Byron would pause for a moment every time he talked about Si Yan before skipping over the topic.
Because she made people completely speechless!
Of course, at this time, no one present knew that Jung Yeon and Li Chenglian had fought.
Everyone only saw that Tuli Yang was instantly killed by Søren.
But in reality, Søren really did kill Tuli Yang. Jung Yeon attacked Li Chenglian, but not Tuli Yang.
Because she knew that Søren could easily kill Tuli Yang.
She and Søren hadn't spoken more than twenty sentences, but she already understood this man very well.
Since he had agreed to fight Tuli Yang, he could already win.
And she also knew that if nothing unexpected happened, this man would become her husband, even though he was four years younger than her.
Moreover, he was still resisting this marriage. He wanted to marry Yan Nair, not her.
The last time her royal father had just mentioned it, he had deliberately interrupted her.
The king had changed his mind and asked Jung Yeon if she was willing to marry Søren. Her answer was very simple, yes!
…
Everyone was still silent as they looked at Søren in shock.
Only now did Tu Lingduo remember that Søren's mental power attack was very strong. Last time, she had been tricked by his mental power.
However, at that time, she had been distracted, which was why Søren had succeeded. Now, Tuli Yang was fully focused, but he was still killed by Søren's mental power attack. This was too shocking!
Søren came to Tu Lingduo and said, "You are free."
At this time, Tuli Yang was still lying on the ground, twitching. Then, a few people quickly appeared and carried him away.
Previously, Tuli Yang had promised that if Søren won the duel, he would return Tu Lingduo her freedom and was willing to cancel the marriage.
Tu Lingduo was shocked. She was free? Why couldn't she feel it at all?
Søren said, "Of course, true freedom has to be fought for by yourself. You have to learn to resist the will of your family. You can go to the Dragon Temple, you can travel the world, and you can even join our side. Princess Jung Yeon is a woman, and so are you. Everyone is a woman, so it's easy to talk to you. "
Tu Lingduo's emotions were complicated. Even though Søren had purposely made it sound ridiculous, his meaning was very serious.
True freedom could only be fought for by herself. If she always put her family's interests first, then she would never be free.
Then, Søren stretched out his hand and bowed. "Miss Tu Lingduo, can I invite you for a dance?"
Tu Lingduo's heart was in a mess. She was still thinking about Søren's words.
Her family was so cruel to her, and her father was so cruel to her. Should she still put her family's interests first and sacrifice herself?
Once she agreed to Søren's invitation, it would mean that she was starting to resist her father's will.
At this time, a stern and cold gaze swept over her like lightning. Tu Lingduo's body trembled and almost froze.
This was her father's gaze. Since young, she had been in awe, worship, and fear of this gaze.
Since young, her greatest fear was to disappoint her father.
"No." Tu Lingduo coldly rejected Søren and said, "I have no interest in dancing with you."
Then, she lifted her dress and turned around to return to her room.
As she walked, she felt extremely sad. In the end, she had given in, and in an instant, even though her father had only glanced at her.
Along the way, Tu Lingduo realized that she could not return to her room. Because Tu Liyang had done some disgusting things in there, that room could no longer be used.
Thus, Tu Lingduo actually did not know where to go.
…
At this time, Søren came in front of Gui Qinshao and stretched out his right hand.
All of a sudden, all the people present were completely excited.
Now, it was time to fulfill the second bet. Was Gui Qinshao going to take off her underwear in front of everyone?
If that was the case, from now on, her reputation would be ruined.
Of course, Ling Ao's reputation would be ruined even more. From now on, he would become the laughingstock of everyone.
Gui Qinshao was still a little tipsy. Her beautiful eyes stared at Søren with tears in them.
Her entire body trembled uncontrollably. She clenched her teeth so hard that she was about to bleed.
Søren, this bastard, this bastard. Why must he be so cruel to humiliate me in front of everyone?
Why didn't he have any protective feelings for the fairer sex? He was her first man. Not only were they husband and wife in name, they were husband and wife in reality.
At this time, Ling Ao was in the attic. His eyes were filled with hot blood. He gripped his sword so tightly that his nails dug into his flesh and blood oozed out.
His most beloved woman was being humiliated like this and he could not rush down to protect her.
"Your Highness, let me go down." Ling Ao knelt down.
"No," Zhi Li said softly. Filled with absolute determination, he watched everything that was happening below with great interest.
Instantly, Ling Ao knelt on the ground in pain and did not move. His gums were crushed and blood oozed out.
Beside him, Zhi Li completely ignored him.
Gui Qinshao was watched by countless people but her Ling Ao did not appear.
Good, good! Everyone was waiting for her to make a fool out of herself. Søren, this bastard, humiliated her like this?
And Ling Ao, who loved her, did not appear and allowed her to be humiliated.
Didn't he just want to see her make a fool out of herself? Didn't he want her to take off her underwear? I'll take it off then, who's afraid of who!
"You want it that much, right? I'll give it to you … "Gui Qinshao said fiercely. Then, she bent down and was about to reach under her skirt.
Instantly, everyone's breathing quickened and their eyes burned with passion.
"I didn't want your underwear. I was just joking with you earlier. How could I bear to do such a thing to you?" Søren said softly, "A day together as husband and wife means a hundred days of love. I just wanted you to see the true colors of some people!"
Hearing this, Gui Qinshao's heart trembled.
Then, Søren's gaze became gentle and he bowed like a gentleman, "Qinshao, can I invite you for a dance?"
At this time, Ling Ao was about to explode from anger. Søren, this bastard, was trying to make him a cuckold in front of everyone!
